 The Portfile for py27-libxml2 is in the repository at
 source:trunk/dports/python/py-libxml2/Portfile, so it's not a missing
 Portfile. You get that message when your PortIndex does not contain
 py27-libxml2. The PortIndex generated on the server-side is hosted at
 `rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/PortIndex_darwin_9_powerpc/PortIndex`
 and
 `rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/PortIndex_darwin_9_i386/PortIndex`.
 Both contain the entry for py27-libxml2, so this is not a problem with our
 setup but a problem with your local installation. Because of that, this is
 very likely not a bug, and trac isn't the right place to discuss this. You
 should write to the macports-users mailing list if you can't figure out
 what's wrong on your own, and that's what you've been told.

 Try running selfupdate with debug output, see if you can spot any
 potential problems. If that doesn't help, delete your PortIndex and run
 selfupdate again. If that doesn't help, go to the MacPorts-users mailing
 list, explain your problem and ask for help.


 > I wish I could act like that at work :(

 MacPorts is a community-supported open source project. Please understand
 that we're all volunteers here. You're not entitled to personal support
 and even though that may seem harsh, a ticket on trac on an issue that
 seems to only happen on a single user's computer is not considered good
 use of their (free!) time by most devs. The mailing list however is full
 of people that are willing to help.
